Very good, I am on my 2nd set, but the old style, they do squeal tho at town speeds and need regular copper slipping at the back of the pad, lots of brake dust too, apparantly the new Pagid Blue pad doesnt squeal and has much less brake dust.

Braking from them is superb, would recommend them, MY99 with AP4 pot 330mm brakes.

Excellent pads and will out last and out brake almost anything. Very low dust levels too. Very stable co-efficient of friction throughout the temp range and good for 750degC+

Now a RS42-1 version out which has even better cold friction.

Those are good pads with a good friction coefficient. Only RS14 are superior (800°C) and squeal less.

Using Pagid Blue now. Supplied with new AP 6 pots in May.
VERY dirty and not over impressed with performance on track or on one particular high speed stop.


Getting alternative pads to try next week. Look at my front wheels at Elvington if you want to see for yourself Neil.
